What is a Net Zero home?

A Net Zero Energy (NZE) home is one that is designed, modeled and constructed to produce as much energy as it consumes on an annual basis. A Net Zero Ready (NZEr) home is built to the same standards, with no renewables installed.

The Net Zero Energy Labelling Program was developed by the Canadian Home Builder’s Association (CHBA) to provide a third-party certification for NZE and NZEr qualified homes.

Thanks

A special thanks to CHBA and the Net Zero Housing Council for their commitment to innovation and leadership, meeting the housing aspirations of Canadians, and reaffirm leadership in high performance housing.
